Is it 1.5 or 1.8 processor? is it possible to watch fluent hd movies on it?

I think it's 1.8 but not sure. I eventually returned it because I felt the cpu is a bit slow and HD playback is somewhat lagging. If you want to get horse power and full HD, consider dell xps 13 convertible. That's what I got eventually and I love it.

Just to clarify, this processor is sometime listed as 1.5 and sometimes as 1.8. But, if I'm not mistaken, it's standard power is 1.5, but it has some turbo mode (I forget what it's called) that can get speeds up to 1.8. So it's just a matter of marketing how it gets listed.

Well I am using it with xbmc and I can play bluray movies no problem. You could get nvidia video card or this celeron cpu/ motherboard.

It's an ideal machine. Since you're working with video, you might want to make sure the ram is maxed out if it's not already. 8 gigs is max.

Thank you, I was getting annoyed at my 5982. It stutters while playing avi movies that were burned on DVDs. Using both component and hdmi cables, turning progressive scan on and off, movies still stutters. Only small kbps movies like anime didn't stutter.

Here you go... At least 1.4 Ghz of processor speed, 1GB of free hard drive space, 2GB RAM, Windows vista, 7 or XP and 512MB of video memory. YES

I use this device to just steam internet videos. If I were planning on using it for digital signage I'd spend more money and at least get the quad core. It will work at 1080p but I have mine set at 720p to improve performance

I will suggest you use MK 908, it has quad core. Much easier to handle the video out put. Thanks, have a great weekend!

It was meant for media stuff (even has the Media Center button built in near the power button), but last time I tried, I think the super HD videos (like 1080p) do slightly lag, and other resolutions under that should play fine. Also consider the fact that the max memory supported by the motherboard is 2gb.

K processors prove full function of video. I use i7_4770K with outstanding results

Did you try watching movies from your mac? Are you happy with the viewing experience? Any kind of jittering... etc? I am just worried about the video card on the mini, it is the intel on board 9400 I guess. iMac comes with 256M/512M NVIDEA/ATI cards. What other features do you rate the most?

System properties says 2.7; mine has the AMD processor. It is also available with Intel processor but I don't know what the speed is on that one.

I use this on two systems. one is dell Zino hd with ati graphics card and amd dual core 4Gb ram. the other is dell inspiring 2.4Ghz quad core processor 4gb ram and ati 3400 graphics. both preform well with hd content. I wouldn't use a single core processor Celeron for tv unless it was only maybe standard definition. I just dont think it would preform well

Answer to part 1, nope. The screen on this laptop is 1600x900. Its between 720p and 1080p. If you want a 1080p screen, the last number has to be 1080. This screen will run 720p but not 1080p. Answer to part 2, yep. This is a LED screen. Personal opinion: Great screen. Movies and video games look great. This is an i7 but it is a dual core i7, not quad core. So, it runs a little slower than its quad core cousins, but the battery lasts alot longer. Moved from i7 quad to this laptop and barely noticed any slowdown. Definitely noticed increased battery. BTW, there is a dedicated video card. So, technically you have 2 video cards in the laptop. HD4000 is used for excel, and IE and stuff. Games and Movies use the discrete card. You can control which card is used for which stuff. So, if you are video editing or something you can use the better discrete card.

It all depends from your internet connection. The laptop can handle hd videos albeit not full screen
